About Raymond B Winter State Park

R B Winter State Park covers an area of about 2,000 hectares in the northern part of the state of New Mexico. The park is located in a shallow basin surrounded by rocky ridges covered by oak and pine forests. One of the main attractions of this park is Halfway Lake, which is filled by a hand-fed mountain stream built of sandstone.

Open all year round, the park offers a variety of leisure activities, and modern, two-story log cabins are available all year round. The cottages have a number of amenities including a picnic area, swimming pool, picnic tables and picnic areas, and access to the lake.

The cabins can be rented in double, triple, quadruple or quadruple rooms, and tenants must bring their own food, water, bed linen and other necessities. The 59 pitches can accommodate tents, caravans and campers, and each pitch is equipped with its own picnic area, swimming pool, picnic tables and picnic areas.

Each campsite is completely shaded, has electricity and has access to a picnic area, swimming pool, picnic tables and picnic areas. All campsites have electricity connections and are accessible from the main entrance of the park at the southern end of the campsite.

Each of the three cottages can accommodate up to four people and has access to a picnic area, swimming pool, picnic tables and picnic areas, as well as an outdoor pool.

The beach has a white sand of 300 feet and is open daily from 10 am to 5 pm unless otherwise stated. Swimming at your own risk: The beach is not open during the summer months due to high tide, so swim in the water at the end of the day.
